60 Seconds! Atomic Adventure Review

Finally, the Philippines is starting to recover from the pandemic. Cases are decreasing, face shields are only required in certain places like hospitals, and restrictions on going out are easing up. But then, someone arrived from America, disregarded the mandatory quarantine, and went to two parties. What's worse, they tested positive for COVID-19, threatening another lockdown. Who would have thought that 2022 would be like 2020 all over again? And when it comes to lockdown, now is the perfect time to play 60 Seconds! Atomic Adventure. Because nothing will remind you of the situation better than this game. Just like quarantine, you have to stay indoors all the time. And if you need to go out for essential needs, you have to wear a mask for safety. As you play more, you'll realize the similarities between the game and the current world.

Features of 60 Seconds! Atomic Adventure

For new players or those looking for casual gameplay, you can start with the Classic mode. Are you a seasoned player or want to challenge your skills further? Then embark on the Challenge mode, where you need to collect the specified supplies and survive with the assigned family members. You can earn great rewards by successfully completing these challenges. The Classic mode has four modes: Atomic, Apocalypse, Scavenge, and Survival.

In Atomic mode, it's just like real life. It's a preparation for the fallout. This mode serves as a tutorial for new players, where you have to go to the designated mark, grab the item, and find the right person.

Scavenge mode is a perfect stage to gather supplies from your house because you don't have to survive until the end of the game. However, you still have to do it within a minute.

On the other hand, you can play the Survival mode with the selected supplies given to you. So if you're not too good at scavenging, this mode is perfect for you.

Apocalypse, on the other hand, is considered the full experience of the game. You have 60 seconds to gather supplies from your house and you have to survive until the end when you reach the bunker.

Days pass by in the journal entries. It tells you what happened on that day and updates the status of your family. Sometimes there will be an event like someone knocking on your door, and it's up to you whether you open it or not. Making the right decision can lead to a better outcome, but choosing otherwise may result in a different ending.

Tips and Tricks in Playing

Prioritize the elderly. The game will lead to a game over if the elderly die or if they don't make it to the bunker in the beginning. I made a mistake by saving the children first. I also had a hard time rescuing Dolores because of the obstacles in the way. As a result, both of them were caught in the explosion and died. The game ended even though the children survived. So if you're gathering supplies from your house, make sure the elderly reach the bunker before time runs out because the whole family relies on them.

Save food and water. I made a mistake by giving food and water to someone who was hungry or thirsty. Even if you have plenty of supplies, only feed them if it's a matter of life or death or if you want your chosen person to survive the scavenging phase. You won't always have a lot of supplies, so don't waste them by giving food or water to them every day.

I always leave Mary Jane behind because she takes up a lot of space whenever she is saved, but she becomes useful when she becomes a mutant. When the event about recurring spiders happens, you can also use the Scout Handbook or do nothing. The next day, she will become a mutant, and the journal will say that she survived and got bitten by a spider. Mutant Mary Jane is the best for scavenging above ground because she can't be killed or captured by raiders or bandits. Make sure to feed her afterwards because she will run the next day. She doesn't need water to survive in the end.

Pros and Cons of 60 Seconds! Atomic Adventure

60 Seconds! Atomic Adventure contains engaging stories. You will enjoy reading the journal entries, especially if you're into things with dark humor. The challenge mode is more fun to play because it tests your skills. If you want to come up with better strategies, you can play it again. Gathering supplies from the house becomes more thrilling due to the epic music and the ticking sound of the clock. Not to mention the loud siren at the beginning. You will have an experience of a nuclear fallout. If you're one of those preppers who enjoy preparing for the post-apocalypse, this is the game for you.

However, it's difficult to control your character when they're gathering supplies from the house. Adjusting the sensitivity of rotation helps, but it's still hard to maneuver the character. You might also get bored reading the journal entries, especially if you've been playing for a long time. As a result, you might prefer to skip the reading and sometimes miss out on important information that could help you in the next day.

There's not much that needs to be changed in this game. But it needs to make the controls during the scavenging phase smoother. It would also be more exciting to add more endings and events.

Conclusion

60 Seconds! Atomic Adventure has a unique style as a post-apocalyptic survival game with a story-driven experience. It shows the possible actions people can take when they're on the brink of death. This game also reflects the behavior of individuals when they are alone for a long time. You can also choose the difficulty of your gameplay to test your survival skills. It also showcases the effort the developers put into writing the journal entries. It's worth ₱199, but it's a worthy investment if you're looking for a game with a great story and multiple endings.
